WATCH: Terrifying footage of window washers swinging out of control in high winds at skyscraper

16 May 2019

This is NOT for anyone afraid of heights.

Terrifying footage has emerged of a window cleaning crew who were caught off guard as their lift platform began to swing out of control near the top of the Devon Tower sky scraper in Oklahoma City.

The Oklahoma fire Department tweeted: "Dangerous situation at Devon Tower. A large basket, believed to have window washers inside, is swinging wildly out of control at the top of the tower. This is a very dangerous situation. Please avoid the area. Firefighters are working to access this now."

The footage shows the crew desperately hanging on as the platform swings from side to side and, well, it's pretty gut wrenching.
